Over 150,000 young, healthy, pregnant, and senior ponies, donkeys and horses are sent for slaughter over our boarders to Mexico and Canada. They are slaughtered mainly for human consumption in other countries. Yes, people eat horses! With horse slaughter illegal in the United States, they are transported hundreds of miles–days at a time without food, water or rest–and slaughtered in the most inhumane way imaginable.
